So deflated about Everton, I think regardless we appear to be destined to be also rans regardless. And even with billions pumped in there is a culture of acceptance of defeat throughout the club. Prove me wrong ya gang of muppets...
They're both points that I'm making.
The resources available to our manager are not currently enough. Given the finances we probably have to rely on developing talent to attain those resources and balance and that's going to take time. Players don't develop overnight - DCL is a prime example.
But some people are seemingly dead set against giving the current manager that time based on the fact that in several games this season that lack of resource has been exposed. It's a very strange vicious circle some seem intent on keeping up based on wanting things that take time to come in an instant.
Fair question.We have another two seasons and two transfer windows with a reasonable investment and no further progress then absolutely I would be questioning the manager.
At that stage he would have three summer transfer windows plus the January window and somewhere between three and four windows in charge. Certainly I would be expecting us to be serious challengers for top 4 by then.
I am assuming of course that in our transfer windows there are sufficient funds available, not silly money but a budget that will allow him to si players that can make us better than we are before the particular window.
I would point out that regarding the season 20/ 21 I do think we have seen a number of players whose level of performance has improved, Godfrey,Davies,DCL and Keane ,Mina just to name five. I think this a very important point as signing players alone is not enough, you must improve them as well.
HIs future performance as West Brom's manager had no bearing on my thinking at the time.

Yes we have made progress this season and yes the squad isn't good enough, and yes no home fans hasn't helped. But its extraordinary circumstances and we had a chance to gate crash the top four or at least top six and we are blowing it. That's the mind numbing frustration. I agree Carlo needs time to build his own team but he is a coach who needs good players can we provide him with them? And will we get another golden chance like this? Not sure. Just feel like there is a lack of a winners mentality with Everton and has been since I started watching them in the early 90s.

We’ve finished in the Top 7 9 times in the past 16 seasons.
It’s unlikely we’ll be finishing there under Ancelotti this season, which was the objective.

Agree to most of your post. Only question two players - Don't think your going to teach an old dog new tricks regarding Keane. Think will just plod along. Davies - I'd give up on him. Bottom half squad player in my eyes.

We need a minimum 6 wins to do so, that’s not completely out of the realm of possibility

Its very likely. The teams in 6th and 7th are just two points ahead after playing a game extra. We spanked the team in 6th twice already and the other one at thier beloved Anfield. Something I would have thought the next manger to do would get the keys of the city no matter who he is. This close to champions league in April is dreamland in thos particular competitive league. we are in terrible form and still well in it. This form won't last and we will get back to another run. I I believe in the manager. Its a very competitive league and we are in amongst it thank god.
Thank Carlo.

It is the way we’re currently playing.
Not unlikely though is it.
I don't agree with your summary of either.
Keane has played to a high standard all season. Our defence has generally been solid and he ghastly been the dominant influence throughout.
David Ancelotti named Tom Davies as the most improved player in the squad and he is still only 22/23.
I have seen him give great performanceservice this year and shut up a vocal minority of his critics simply by the quality of his performancestuff
But, of course there is still plenty of room for improvement in both.

This doesn't have much meaning in the grand scheme of things. It is far easier for those kind of teams to go to Chelsea etc. and nick wins as the complacency can set in that they just need to turn up to get the 3 points. I've always said one of the reasons we have won bugger ye all is we sit right in the middle where we don't (didn't) have the players to challenge the top teams but we had enough talent and our name forces the other teams to not take it lightly. Swansea/Birmingham and Wigan etc. could fly under the radar, I'm pretty sure during our quarter final with the latter that we honestly believed our quality would win the day without first matching the intensity and the iron will to win first.
If BFS had taken us to Chelsea I think 9 out of 10 times the result ends the same, we'll face a team that are pumped up and ready to play at a high level and that makes it hard to get something from these games.

No one is saying that you hurl abuse. But you are definately not happy with the match day experience, and when that happen continually, questions start the rumble
